Hydrogen de France (HDF) Energy, a global pioneer in hydrogen power solutions, together with its consulting partner REurasia Management Corporation, met with Isabela City officials on December 2 to discuss the proposed development of a green hydrogen power plant aimed at strengthening Basilan’s energy reliability and long-term sustainability.
The meeting formed part of the delegation’s visit, during which representatives introduced an innovative system that integrates solar energy generation with hydrogen and lithium-ion battery storage. The proposed facility is envisioned to provide more stable, secure, and resilient electricity for Basilan, addressing long-standing power challenges that continue to affect households and economic activities.
